bencrush Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Great lift Andrew!!! I wonder if Chris James has ever given the one-hand Axle deadlift a shot? Hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Jara Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Ben, I don´t know what's the best of Chris, but i met him this weekend in a powerlifting contest and he showed me a few videos. He showed me a video lifting 100 kgs -one hand deadlift 2.6 inch bar- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose, if you talk to him anytime soon, ask him if he ever tried the 1 arm deadlift on a 2" axle, and if so, how much did he pull? Thanks bro!

Lol999 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I pulled a very controlled 148lbs on a 2.5" bar if that counts? Looking to do some more on a 2" rig next week. Cheers, Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Lipinski Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I am very suprised at Dave Thorton's standings. From what I saw, he was lucky to pull that 190. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Parker Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Well, big mistake for me! I thought it was odd that I was so far up the list when I KNEW I shouldn't be!! With Bob mentioning Dave being lower than he thought it really got me thinking beacuse I KNOW that I can't beat Dave at anything grip related. Due to me adding up the weights on my axle the way I normally do if I was in a gym, IE assuming that the bar weighs 45lbs, I am actually at a max lift of 160lbs with my new setup that is 6ft long. Sorry, wasn't trying to cheat, just an honest mistake that I'm glad I figured out before I tried to pull 195 at Gripmas and find it surprisingly stuck to the floor!

Cheers, Lol That's a huge pull on a 2.5" bar mate. Make sure you post what you do on the 2" so I can add you to the list. Well, big mistake for me!

I do that every once in a while. I'll make the change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odin Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 How is the Inch training coming along Bob? Rex, the Axle 1HDL was my Inch-related training for several weeks. I pulled 232 in plates on the RT last week, but dropped it before I could set it down. I'm going to focus on strengthening my wrists and a few other weaknesses; it seems the Inch will find any weakness you have and attack it. If you consider that I pulled just a few pounds less on the Axle 1HDL (198) than most of the Open competitors at Gripmas: (not including Woodall w/ 236.5, of course)-Dave Thornton and Brad Ardrey 214.5, Jedd 209: all who've pulled the Inch, I'll get it done-probably when I least expect it.

I'm kind of like Hubgeezer insofar as I prefer working with RT diameters mainly, but I can see how a 2" diameter would involve some good fiber recruitment for someone with an average size hand. Those with average size hands are pretty restricted with the weights they can work with for a 2.5" handle, unless they really restrict the range of motion (RT). But at 2" you can increase the weight appreciably above Inch weight (175ish) without limiting range of motion. Sounds like a good plan.

I've played around a little bit with using speed as well, but not much yet. I've been doing some axle high pulls. I just moved from the 2" to a 2.5" axle w/ these. I think I may make a run later this year utilizing an "Inch speed day" alternated with more normal thickbar work. This might help recruit some different muscle fibers. Who knows, some weakness I address may be enough to put me over the top. It could be speed work, wrist (levering especially), thin pinch (to help w/ thumb pressure) or _________? Heck, I might even need some type of isometric work, as it seems I can get a surprising amount of weight airborne, but don't hang on as long as I'd like to.
